Alright, last post before I leave for vacation! Sorry if I'm posting a lot of these. I didn't get to do ANY crafting for over a week, and I'm not going to be able to do much for the following week, so I've been going crazy this weekend.

Nooooo! I just ran out of yarn after finishing the body of a baby poncho.I checked, and the brand has been discontinued. (And I know I bought the last multipack at my yarn shop - I was just using up the leftovers, and they weren't enough...)So now I have to find another cotton blend yarn in a halfway matching colourway to make the hood and front pocket.*sulks*

Kick me- must finish knitted waistcoat for my mums birthday before the end of he month (half way up second side, back still to do...) and also sew rest of pirate flag as birthday gift for friend's kid before party! I'm all bisque and no stitch at the moment!

...Maybe I'll just go with a dramatic colour change. Like from variegated blues to a solid orange. If nothing else helps.

Color change! Color change! :D

Wild colour change it is!The front of the poncho is mainly white and grey, and the back has a lot of blue (it's just the way my leftover mini-skeins knitted up), so maybe at least seen from the front it will not look too awkward with the hood and pocket knitted in the second colorway (which is turquoise/yellow/purple).

This kid is going to look like a parrot.Still need to assemble the parts and weave in the (millions of) ends.Sorry about the blurry pic - it's quite dark already, and the shadows made the sofa look really yellow so I did a very hasty shop job around the hood. Better pics (hopefully!) when I'm done!
